Abstract:
This paper describes an exploratory study of a nonconventional wind power converter with a pair of oscillating wings, which is called an oscillating-wing unit. The working principles of the oscillating-wing unit are described, including the aerodynamic models, kinematical, and dynamical models. The performance of the oscillating-wing unit is evaluated through computational simulations and the power scaling in comparison with conventional horizontal-axis wind turbines. Then, a model oscillating-wing unit is designed, built, and tested in a wind tunnel to examine the feasibility of the oscillating-wing unit in extraction of the wind energy in comparison with the theoretical analysis. The theoretical analysis and experimental data indicate that the oscillating-wing unit has the power efficiency comparable to the conventional horizontal axis wind turbine and it can operate at low wind speeds.

Abstract:
This Bachelor thesis has been written at the Blekinge Institute of Technology. This thesis concentrates on the wind power and their components, also the large wind farm is studied. The electrical power is generated by using the power in wind to drive a wind turbine to produce mechanical power. This mechanical power can be converted into electrical power by using electrical induction generators. There are two types of the wind turbines, the horizontal axis and vertical axis wind turbine, where the horizontal axis wind turbine is mostly used and was studied in this thesis. The rotor can be placed in two directions: an upwind rotor where the blade of turbine faces to the wind, so it operates more smoothly and transmit more power. The other type is a downwind rotor which orients itself with respect for the wind direction. Moreover, the tower shadow makes the blade to flex, consequently resulting in fatigue, noise, and reduces output of the power. The modern wind turbine has been built with an odd number of blades which is important for the stability of the turbine. The rotor with an odd number of blades can be considered to be similar to a disc when calculating the dynamic properties of the machine. The main idea of this thesis is to study the wind power in general and large wind parks specifically. The Horns Rev wind park was taken as an example of a wind park in Denmark and the Gotland wind park as an example of a wind park in Sweden too. Into account, the distance between wind turbine in the wind direction cannot be too small. If the wind turbines are located to close to each other, the wind will be more and more turbulent after it passes through each single wind turbine. This would lead to that wind turbines downstream in the wind park, and it might even have to shut down due to that mechanical loading gets to high during strong conditions. This is due to the fact that when wind passes through the rotor of the wind turbine it gets very turbulent and the wind speed is decreased. The minimum length of the rotor should be approximately 5-7 rotor diameters to avoid that issue. Gotland Energy AB (GEAB) considered, that high voltage direct current light would be the only realistic way to solve the technical problems for the high amount of wind power in-feed. One result is that The stability of voltage during transient events, has become much better by using the high voltage direct current light so that the output current stability from the asynchronous generators have been improved, which reduces the stresses on the AC grid and on the mechanical construction of the windmills.
In general the wind turbines with three blades accommodated a thicker root are used. It is obvious that, the less number of blades on the wind turbine, the cost of material and manufacturing will be lower. It is worthy to mentioned that, the modern wind turbine has been built with an odd number of blades. When the length of the blade increases the deflection of blade tip due to axial wind force also increase as well. So without consider the increase in length of blade may lead to dangerous situation of collision of tower and blade. Moreover, by increasing the number of blades cost of the system would increased as well. The limit of transfer for the AC transmission system depends on the distance from shore and is therefore physically limited by this. AC large wind parks that are placed at a long distance from the shore, which means AC long transmission line, and more drop voltage A solution to AC long transmission line, it could be to decrease the offshore frequency and use a low frequency AC networks. There is a suggestion by for instance (Schütte, Gustavsson and Ström 2011). The usages of a low frequency system are in electrified railway systems, where the frequency ranges from 16.67 Hz to 25 Hz. However, the network of a low frequency would allow a simpler design of the offshore WTs and The aerodynamic rotor of a large WT operates at maximum revolutions at 15-20 rpm. The lower frequency would then allow a smaller gear ratio for turbines with a gearbox, or decrease the poles number for WTs with direct driven generators. This would lead to lighter and cheaper turbines. One of the disadvantages by using a low frequency system is the size of transformer would be increased, and hence, the costs of transformer will increased too. The operator of the grid, Gotland Energy AB (GEAB) considered, that HVDC light would be the only realistic way to solve the technical problems for the high amount of wind power in-feed. The experiences have supported expected improvements in the characteristics for example: - Stability in the system arose. - Reactive demands, power flows, as well as voltage level in the harmonic and system were reduced. - Flicker problems were eliminated with the installation of HVDC light and transient phenomena disappeared. Moreover, Overall experiences of Gotland Energy AB (GEAB) are that the control of power flow from the converters makes the AC grid easier to observe than a conventional AC network and the power variations do not stress the AC grid as much as in normal network. Voltage quality has been better with the increased wind power production. A topic to study in the future is the consequences of blackouts in power supply with many wind power farm.

In the future, renewable energy share, especially wind power share, in electricity generation is expected to increase. Due to nature of the wind, wind power generation pattern includes uncertainties which affects the energy prices in the electricity markets. New simulations are needed for efficient planning process for the resources in the power systems to address the uncertainties in demand, generation, legal, economical and technical limitations. In this study, the aspects of planning process for wind power generation is described and some example scenarios are implemented with the help of MATLAB software.

A energia eólica é uma das alternativas mais promissoras para geração de energia elétrica, pois assegura a diversidade e segurança no fornecimento de energia e atende à necessidade premente de reduzir os níveis de emissão de gases poluentes. Na operação de sistemas elétricos com forte presença de geração eólica é fundamental prever com pelo menos um dia de antecedência os valores futuros (pelo menos horários) da veloci-dade do vento, pois assim pode-se avaliar a disponibilidade de energia para o próximo dia, uma informação útil no despacho das unidades geradoras e no controle do sistema elétrico. A proposta dessa dissertação objetiva especificamente desenvolver modelos de previsão de curto prazo da velocidade do vento, baseado em técnicas de inteligência artificial, modelo da rede neural artificial e neuro-fuzzy adaptativa (ANFIS) e um mode-lo Estatístico composto por um modelo de regressão harmônica e Box-Jenkins. Para aplicação da metodologia considerou-se o município de São João do Cariri (Estado de Paraíba), onde está localizada uma das estações de referência do projeto SONDA (Sis-tema Nacional de Dados Ambientais para o setor de energia). O desempenho dos mode-los rede neural, neuro-fuzzy (ANFIS) e modelo Estatístico são comparados nas previ-sões de 6 horas, 12 horas, 18 h e 24horas a frente. Os resultados obtidos mostram o me-lhor desempenho da modelagem ANFIS e encorajam novos estudos no tema.
Wind power is one of the most promising options for power generation. It ensures the diversity and security of energy supply and meets the pressing need to reduce the levels of emission of polluting gases. In the operation of electrical systems with a strong presence of wind generation, it is essential to provide at least one day in advance the future values (at least hourly) of wind speed, so that we can assess the availability of energy for the next day, a useful information in the order of the generating units and electrical control system. The purpose of this dissertation aims to develop models spe-cifically to develop models to forecast short-term wind speed, based on artificial intelligence techniques, artificial neural network model and adaptive neuro-fuzzy Systems (ANFIS) and a statistical model composed of a harmonic regression model and Box-Jenkins. For application of the methodology, the city of São João do Cariri (State of Paraíba), where a reference station of SONDA project (National Environmental Data for the energy sector) is located, was considered.To apply the methodology was consi-dered the city of the ray tracing model (State of Paraíba), which is located a station ref-erence design (National Environmental Data for the energy sector). The performance of artificial neural network model and adaptive neuro-fuzzy Systems (ANFIS) and a statis-tical model are compared mixed forecasts of 6 hours, 12 hours, 18hours and 24 hours ahead. The results show the best performance of the ANFIS model and encourage fur-ther studies on the subject.

Abstract:

As welfare and industry production gets higher the demand for electricity increases. Almost 90 % of the electricity generated in Brazil is from renewable sources, 85 % of the renewable energy comes from hydropower. Even if Latin America has a lot of potential for wind power their installed capacity in only 1 % of the worlds total installed capacity. Lately more and more wind turbines and wind farms are appearing along Brazil’s over 7500 kilometer long coastline.

Osorio wind farm is the largest wind farm in Latin America with a total installed effect of 150 MW. In the same state, Rio Grande du Sul, a farmer has shown interest for using his property for wind power. The purpose of this project is to lay the foundation for a deeper investigation about using Aguapé farm’s property for wind power and to show the future possibilities for Brazilian wind power.

The study is made on set in Brazil, divided into two parts, one theoretical research part and one practical part with a field trip to Aguapé farm.

In 2002 The Brazilian Government launched the PROINFA program, Alternative Sources for Energy Incentive. This year, 2009, the first wind power projects auctions are held to increase the generation from renewable electricity sources. Wind power in Brazil has the highest production when the level in the hydropower dams are at the lowest, which by integrating the electrical generating wiht wind power makes it possible to save water and avoiding lack of electricity.

Aguapé farm is located between one of the worlds biggest fresh water lakes, Lagao dos Patos, and the Atlantic Ocean. The location has very good wind potential, almost like offshore because of the closeness to large areas of water. Road connections to the farm are functional in good and dry weather conditions and not far away a 138kV power line passes through.

Surrounding neighbors are positive to wind power which makes it easier with problem caused by wind turbines, for example noise. About 40 kilometers from the farm Lagoa do Peixe National Park is located. Suggestion from the Aguapé owner is to stop with the rice production, which is disturbing the park’s natural hydrological system, to use the property for wind turbines instead.

Conclusions of the study shows that the potential for wind power at Aguapé farm is excellent and that wind power at Aguapé farm will help both the owner, Lagoa do Peixe National Park and Brazil to a better future.

Abstract:
In this study we conduct wind resource assessment to evaluate the annual energy production of a wind turbine. To estimate energy production of a wind turbine over a period of time, the power characteristics of the wind turbine are integrated with the probabilities of the wind speed expected at a chosen site. The first data set was obtained from a wind farm in Denmark. We propose several probability density functions to model the distribution of the wind speed. We use techniques from nonlinear regression analysis to model the power curve of a wind turbine. The best fit distribution model is assessed by performing numeric goodness–of–fit measures and graphical analyses. Johnson’s bounded (SB) distribution provides the best fit model with the smallest Kolmogorov–Smirnov (K-S) test statistic . 15. The four parameter logistic nonlinear regression (4PL) model is determined to provide the best fit to the power curve data, according to the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). The estimated annual energy yield is compared to the actual production of the wind turbine. Our models underestimate the actual energy production by a 1 difference. In Chapter Six we conduct data processing, analyses and comparison of wind speed distributions using a data set obtained from a measuring wind mast mounted in Humansdorp, Eastern Cape. The expected annual energy production is estimated by using the certified power curve as provided by the manufacturer of the wind turbine under study. The commonly used Weibull distribution is determined to provide the best fit distribution model to our selected models. The annual energy yield is estimated at 7.33 GWh, with a capacity factor of 41.8 percent.

Abstract:
Wind power often is a source of voltage fluctuations and possible voltage issues are raised when considering interconnecting wind turbines to an electric grid. Also, the power electronics introduced in the wind turbines might insert more fluctuations and different PQ problems. Distributed generation seems to be a good option in order to try to mitigate these problems. The first goal of the work is to create a model of a small electric grid, using MATLAB/Simulink. The models aims to simulate various DFIG wind turbines coupled to the grid in different conditions of location and wind. Then, the main objective is to analyze the PQ in the grid with this type of turbine. For this, once the simulations have been done, the results obtained have allowed calculating different indices to study PQ in the model. Afterwards, a comparison of those indices in the different conditions is made.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates power systems restoration procedure and the possibility of using wind power to assist restorations. Three main factors motivate this approach: the sharp growth on wind power production during recent years, the absence of wind power on restoration procedures, and recent blackouts cases which stability issues delayed the restoration procedure. Stability studies are the base of this investigation, where a series of tools are proposed and developed due to the disparate condition of a restoration procedure. The first tool is a power flow routine, where stochastic simulations address wind speed's randomness. This computational program calculates indexes of collapse for voltage stability. This computational routine also encompasses a methodology built from an energy function tool for visualizing power systems' vulnerable and robust areas. This thesis applies the tool for restoration analysis, where its validation has been published on an academic journal. This thesis also proposes a novel methodology for visualizing the robustness areas, which uses the energy function output to form a graphical representation as the system diagram's background. This thesis designs procedures and controllers for the dynamic simulation analysis. The first is the definition of a procedure used to simulate the synchronization of wind farms during restorations. This procedure aims to mitigate impacts caused by wind farms on power systems, where two loop controls achieve the desired response. Finally, one can find an initialization procedure for wind turbines, regarding restoration conditions. The robustness areas tool validation shows that one can achieve positive results on angular stability by reinforcing vulnerable areas. The guidelines proposed by the robustness areas tool test the Brazilian system operator's restoration procedure. A number of analysis and simulations assess the proposed approach efficiency. The IEEE 30 bus system, which is a benchmark for stability studies, shows the impact of wind power on restorations. Part of the Brazilian power system addresses the proposed methodology on a real case scenario. Finally, this thesis presents a list of recommendations, which intends to guide future works to include wind power on restorations and to extend the proposed approach to other power systems.

Abstract:
The goal of this project was to calculate how much wind power could be balanced with hydro power in our designated area consisting of five hydro power stations, four villages which consume power, possible locations for wind power and one connection to the national grid. To achieve this a simulation model was constructed in the GAMS software with the goal of achieving the maximum profit from the hydro power plants by considering electricity prices, inflow of water, the physical construction of the power plants and the time of year. When this was achieved, restriction for the maximum transmission load on the power grid was added as well as local wind power production as to simulate the implementation of new power sources on an old system and power grid. This would result in a maximum income in SEK as well as the most wind power which could be maintained and balanced by the designated system. This project shows how to find the optimal way to use hydro power and wind power as well as how the integration between different sources of electricity production could work, which is vital for a future powered by renewable energy and will help towards lowering emissions.

Abstract:
Detailed 2-axis hot-wire anemometry measurements were conducted around a scale Air-Cooled Condenser (ACC) model within an atmospheric boundary layer wind-tunnel. The measurements were taken for the “standard” flow field, as well as the effects of using partial wind screens and louvers as mitigation measures. This provides a representation of the complex 2-D flow field present underneath an operating ACC when subjected to various speed cross winds. Optimal ACC operation is achieved when all fans generate a uniform flow pattern into the plenum chamber of the ACC, and this is dependent on the speed and direction of the air at the inlet. The wind-tunnel measurements support the assertion that wind screens reduce the horizontal wind speed directly downstream; however, this comes with a marked increase in turbulence. The results suggest a wind-screen covering a smaller portion (6% tested) of the ACC inlet may be more beneficial than the more common 50% coverage.

Abstract:
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) started a project in 2000 to record long-term, high-frequency (1-Hz) wind power output data from large commercial wind power plants. Outputs from about 330 MW of wind generating capacity from wind power plants in Buffalo Ridge, Minnesota, and Storm Lake, Iowa, are being recorded. Analysis of the collected data shows that although very short-term wind power fluctuations are stochastic, the persistent nature of wind and the large number of turbines in a wind power plant tend to limit the magnitudes and rates of changes in the levels of wind power. Analyses of power data confirm that spatial separation greatly reduces variations in the combined wind power output relative to output from a single wind power plant. Data show that high frequency variations of wind power from two wind power plants 200 km apart are independent of each other, but low frequency power changes can be highly correlated. This fact suggests that time-synchronized power data and meteorological data can aid in the development of statistical models for wind power forecasting.

Abstract:
With electric utilities and other power providers showing increased interest in wind power and with growing penetration of wind capacity into the market, questions about how wind power fluctuations affect power system operations and about wind power’s ancillary services requirements are receiving lots of attention. To evaluate short-term wind power fluctuations and the range of ancillary service of wind power plants, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), in cooperation with Enron Wind, has started a project to record output power from several large commercial wind power plants at the 1-Hertz rate. The project’s purpose is to acquire actual, long-term wind power output data for analyzing wind power fluctuations, frequency distribution of the changes, the effects of spatial diversity, and wind power ancillary services. This paper presents statistical properties of the data collected so far and discusses the results of data analysis. Although the efforts to monitor wind power plants are ongoing, we can already conclude from the available data that despite the stochastic nature of wind power fluctuations, the magnitudes and rates of wind power changes caused by wind speed variations are seldom extreme, nor are they totally random. Their values are bounded in narrow ranges. Power output data also show significant spatial variations within a large wind power plant.

Abstract:
Wind power offers the possibility of onsite generation of renewable energy for residential, commercial and industrial energy users in urban and suburban areas. This form of electricity production has generally been limited to rural and utility applications, but continued improvements have generated new interest in the potential of wind power in urban environments. There are several key elements that determine the viability of urban wind power, the most important of which are turbine technology, wind resources, costs and regulations. This paper will examine these elements with the goal of assessing the current status and future potential of urban wind power. Urban environments present a unique set of challenges to wind power, which demand turbine technology specific to these applications. Buildings create turbulent wind patterns, destroying the constant, steady winds on which utility scale turbines are dependant. Noise, shadow and vibration due to turbines is more important in urban applications, and turbine esthetics becomes a major focus. A new generation of wind turbines is now being produced with these concerns specifically in mind. There are a variety of solutions to these problems, which designers are beginning to explore. An essential element in the success of a turbine is the availability of wind resources. New turbine designs are being produced to utilize lower velocity winds. Additionally, engineers and architects can create better turbine locations through the integration of turbines with building design. Through this integrated design, buildings can contribute to the wind resources by increasing wind speeds and directing wind through the turbine. Available wind and turbulence, along with the characteristics of the particular turbine design, dictates how much electricity can be produced. The third critical aspect of urban wind power is the cost of producing electricity. To gain success, urban wind generators must be cost competitive with other urban applications of renewable energy technologies. The primary competition in this market is from solar photovoltaics, which currently produce power at about 50 ct/kWh. Utility scale wind turbines are not part of this market, and therefore do not compete with urban turbines. Urban turbines have the potential to produce electricity at costs of down to 10 ct/kWh. Future technology improvements, along with increased production, could significantly reduce the capital cost and further reduce the price of generating power. There are also opportunities for tax incentives, feed-in tariffs and other subsidies that can reduce the installed cost of wind power. Finally, regulations and policy can be a major obstacle to urban wind power. This includes zoning and building codes, as well as electronics certifications and interconnection regulations. This paper will examine existing and future turbine technologies, urban wind resource availability and the costs associated with producing energy via urban wind power. It will also identify roadblocks to the implementation and assess the overall viability of this type of renewable energy production.
